8. Cover puddings with 4−5 sheets of wet butcher’s paper.
9. Steam at 160°−170°C for 3 hours for 450 g puddings, 4 hours for 900 g puddings.
10. Take from oven, remove papers from top and puddings out of the water.

12. Replace lids and package as desired.

Notes: Best results are obtained by washing and draining sultanas/raisins/currants then blending with glacé
cherries, mixed peel, glycerine and small quantity of APITO RUM FLAVOURING PASTE. Place into a
plastic bucket cover and leave overnight.
Mouldiness is caused through damp conditions of storage or locally in the individual puddings setting up
those conditions that flavour the growth of mould spores.
If these conditions are not allowed to prevail there will be no trouble whatever with storage, and indeed
it is safe to say that, however good a pudding may be, if it is carefully stored for a year it will be still
better at the end of that period.
Why Puddings Go Mouldy:
1. Making the mixture too soft and sloppy by the addition of too much liquid i.e. eggs, milk, old ale, lemon
juice etc.
